Solver Reviews & Product Details

I love that Solver is cloud-based and accessible anywhere, which makes it super easy to use. It's also highly customizable and can connect different systems' data seamlessly. Solver makes running reports simple for users, and after we do the heavy lifting of creating reports, it's very easy to adjust as needed. I also like that it can make the budget as detailed as you can imagine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We recently used all payroll names and titles for the payroll budget, but calculating payroll budgets for hourly employees is difficult and needed some estimation. We had some difficulty with requests to add more employees and adjust employee data, which had to be done on the data warehouse side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the ability to link Solver with Microsoft Business Central and update transactions in real-time. The reporting templates and foundation for building reports seem very robust, providing us with flexibility in our data and plenty of options for useful reports we can add in the future.

I think there could be improvements on the implementation process. Often it seemed like Solver reps were too busy or dropped the ball related to our plan. We unfortunately are a month behind compared to the initial go live date for the company. Better communication through the week rather than only a follow-up call on a weekly basis. There are many times follow-up on progress via email would be helpful after the follow-up call or preparation for the follow-up call the next week. We are still working through it. As commented before, it has been a bit of a struggle with some delays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting in Solver works really well once the reports are built. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The budgeting portion does not like complicated budgeting with multiple departments and multiple funding sources. Solver cannot handle complicated business/government set ups. Building salaries and positions into the budget template is not reliable. If a user does not use solver daily, it can be difficult to run end user reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use ad hoc reporting to prove things all the time. I am enjoying sharing the ease of creating reports. I have had a lot of very good Solver support in my build out of the program for my organization. I am ready to launch reporting that will guide Pathways to greater stability and growth.

There are a few times when I have overwhelmed the system with data uploads and I do not know why. Also, I have found that the reports populate correctly when pulled out of the system. I don't know why that would be either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to create report packages and update budget templates within minutes. The budgeting templates also allow us to make changes quickly and push out updated statements faster than before. We have multiple departmental statements, and we are able to run all of the statements when we create them in a package. The initial setup was pretty easy, and our implementation team provided a good amount of training to ensure we knew how to build reports and use the budgeting templates.

I wish that the designer was a bit more intuitive. It takes a while to create a new report from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The solver training on Monday and Tuesday was very informative, relevant, and useful. I learned new things that I will use for Solver report creation, that I didn't learn during the implementation phase for Indiana Health Centers, Inc. The support that was provided during the training was very helpful in understanding the benefits and use of Solver reporting. The general sessions provided information that will allow me to continue to maximize the benefits of Solver. Prior to the training/conference I didn't understand the use or benefit of CoPilot. Overall a great learning opportunity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only dislike was that a couple of the general sessions were not what I expected based on the information provided for each session. One specific session was on Solver and Profromas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solver is an excellent database for gathering information from multiple sources and generating reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating reports comes with a significant learning curve, and I often find myself needing to reach out to partner consultants for help. The publishing features are quite limited, which adds to the challenge. Additionally, keeping everything organized is tough—I have a large number of reports that I’ve started but don’t want to delete, yet I also don’t want them cluttering categories and causing confusion for others.

Solver has significantly improved our finance operations. Its Excel-based platform makes report building incredibly intuitive, especially for users already familiar with Excel. Administration is straight forward - maintaining metadata, security, and business rules is easy and doesn’t require much effort. The software is also highly reliable with minimal downtime, which helps keep productivity high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there's very little to dislike. Occasionally, getting familiar with new features takes a bit of time, but Solver’s responsive support team quickly helps resolve any confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
